"which fool has written" was not and is not offending in EVERY situation in real life the question to the quote you stripped would have been clearly "Welcher Trottel hat dann die Feature-Page geschrieben" in my native language, even if my boss himself did it and even knowing that he did it i would ask him in this way
Well, the offense has to be gauged by the offendee, not by you---so when people consistently ask you to tone down, it behoves you to conform.
If you think the equivalent German expression 'Trottel' is not offensive, perhaps just use it? 'which Trottel has written' does indeed sound less offensive :)
